Bred with Love for Temperament and Health
Our Dams
Our dams are the heart of Alpine Sky Goldens. Each one is a certified therapy dog, working alongside us as her handlers through Canines for Service, where they bring comfort, connection, and joy to people throughout our community. They are carefully chosen for their exceptional health, steady temperaments, and the loving, intuitive nature that defines the Golden Retriever breed.
These remarkable females not only carry outstanding pedigrees but also live the mission of our program every day demonstrating the calm, compassionate spirit we strive to pass on to each generation of Alpine Sky puppies.
** Sky **
Sky is from a globally renowned breeder in the Netherlands and is smart with a sweet and caring personality. Beautifully structured and prances gracefully as she walks. Sky’s coat is lovely and easy to care for.
Sky is a certified therapy dog (team with Tammy) and enjoys her work bringing joy to our community. She enjoys all types of interactions and is also very loyal to her human and furry family members.
Her favorite activities are long walks, swimming, fetching a ball, and any opportunity for a car or golf cart ride. She loves visiting local breweries and restaurants, and anywhere she can interact with humans!

Penny and Yuki got their therapy dog certifications in May of 2025. We are planing litters in summer of 2026 once all health clearances are completed. Yuki has her CHIC certificate already! They are certain to have sweet-tempered, gorgeous pups crossed with our sire Proximo (under Our Sires). Some will be future therapy dogs, and ALL will be confident family companions.
